Notes

Rice: The rice in this recipe needs to be cooked in advance to keep this soup quick. I like to make it the night before I plan on cooking this. Rinse 1 cup of wild rice. Then bring it to a boil with 3 cups of water, reduce it to a simmer and let it cook, covered, for about 45 minutes or until tender.
